Yeah, I get that message often, so what's the problem?

DanQ explained this a couple of months ago when we had the server trouble. A limit has been set on the load on the server. When this limit is passed, you will get this message.
He was a bit vague on what exactly comprised this limit, but he did state, in response to a question from rah, that it is not as simple as X users logging on at the same time.

I think Emporers and Dieties should get priority over other posters.

and i suppose its just a coincidence the CTP2 source code was released recently too, and a news item posted on every site in the world, ever. How dare civ3 take the credit for crippling the server.

Nope. I'm still me. BKWM is my 12 year old son. He is generally banned from posting or lurking in the OT but he is a huge Axis and Allies fan and I turned him loose last night. After looking at some of his posts it appears an...uh...adjustment in attitude is required.

How about just priority in order of post count in general?
What disturbs me is that I am being treated as if I am an unregistered guest, when I have in fact been with poly for over two thirds of its existence.

The same way you Germans want the bigger EU countries to hold sway over the smaller ones? What a world that would amount to

Indeed Why should Luxemborg even get ONE vote in the EU?
Are you still using that "funny-money" up north

No, that's not a coincidence. Quite the contrary judging from the numbers I've seen

What? He's a hell of a lot more polite than some characters who frequent the OT. Except that judging by the rest of the A&A thread, it would appear that he can back up his bragging with achievements, unlike most of those blowing their own trumpets on a more regular basis. 
[On topic] Rather than having people allowed on the site when use is restricted on the basis of post count, why not on the date of registration? This wouldn't encourage spamming because once you're registered there's nothing you can do to change the date, super-mod powers notwithstanding....

Why reward the spammers? If there's going to be a priority such as that, it should go by registration date. The longer you've been here, the more likely you get in.
